	Sudan (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-08)
		The Republic of the Sudan, or Republic of Sudan (in recent years the definite article has increasingly been dropped in common usage) is the largest country in Africa, situated in the northeast part of the continent.
		Elections were held in April 1965 but Sudan had a series of governments that proved unable either to agree on a permanent constitution or to cope with problems of factionalism, economic stagnation, and ethnic dissidence.
		From 1983 to 1997, the Sudan was divided into five regions in the north and three in the south, each headed by a military governor.

		Military cooperation between Russia and Sudan resumed after an agreement between the two countries was signed in 1993.
		140 The late NDA military leader Gen. Fathi Ahmed Ali, former head of the Sudan armed forces under the Sadiq al-Mahdi government, claimed that a shipment of Iraqi arms arranged by the Yemen Reform Party was off-loaded in Port Sudan on February 20, 1997.

	SUDAN
		In 1997 Sudan’s armed forces were estimated by the London-based International Institute for Strategic Studies to number 79,700 troops, all but 4,700 of whom were in the army (including 20,000 conscripts), and some 85,000 reserves, as well as 15,000 active irregulars in the paramilitary PDF militia (under the Sudanese Army).
		The hodgepodge of ordnance observed in southern Sudan and the surrounding region is representative of the duration of the conflict and the complex history of Sudan’s political patronage—going to both the government of Sudan and the rebels—and that of its neighbors since the 1950s.
		The rebel commander, a former Sudanese brigadier, said he was based in Karora, Sudan, and was responsible for SAF forces in territory captured in March and April of 1997, stretching from the Eritrean border north along the Red Sea coast to Marafit and inland to Togan, outside Kassala.

	Sudan THE TRANSITIONAL MILITARY COUNCIL - Flags, Maps, Economy, Geography, Climate, Natural Resources, Current Issues, ...
		The combination of the south's redivision, the introduction throughout the country of the sharia, the renewed civil war, and growing economic problems eventually contributed to Nimeiri's downfall.
		During its first few weeks in power, the TMC suspended the constitution; dissolved the SSU, the secret police, and the parliament and regional assemblies; dismissed regional governors and their ministers; and released hundreds of political detainees from Kober Prison.
		In March 1986, the Sudanese government and the SPLM produced the Koka Dam Declaration, which called for a Sudan "free from racism, tribalism, sectarianism and all causes of discrimination and disparity." The declaration also demanded the repeal of the sharia and the opening of a constitutional conference.

	Sudan: Western Oil Greed Trumps ‘Genocide’ Concerns - Worldpress.org
		The report said it had established that the Sudan government and its state-sponsored janjaweed Arab-chauvinist gangs are guilty of “crimes under international law,” including attacks on villages, killing of civilians, rape, pillaging and forced displacement of people.
		Annan’s main recommendation was that Sudan be pressured to accept a “larger international presence” based on an expansion of the existing 305-member African Union (A.U.) military force already in Darfur to protect A.U. ceasefire monitors.
		Of course, Sudan’s reactionary rulers have continually probed to test the limits of the West’s tolerance, requiring Washington to periodically escalate its rhetoric.

	Explananda: How (not) to argue for military action in Sudan
		Western governments, if they're the ones intervening, don't seem to have much enthusiasm for intervention in Sudan, and I don't think it would be right for people to complain (as they surely would) that they are doing it mainly for oil.
		But if they did intervene, it would be hard for them to ignore all that oil, and it would surely represent a corrupting temptation for the would-be interveners, and might shape their conduct during and after hostilities.
		When military force is involved this is absolutely the first order of business, and the main standard by which we should judge a commentator.

	MyDD :: Should there be Military Intervention in Sudan?
		I do believe that military intervention to stop genocide is justifiable when all other means of prevention have been exhausted, and I supported intervention in Kosovo on these grounds.
		Mass human destruction is unfolding today in Sudan, with the potential to bring a death toll even higher than that in Rwanda.
		Sudan would have been a big part of a smart war on terror, but we wasted all our capital on the mess in Iraq.

		Kiir was reportedely unhappy with Garang's lack of consultation in the negotiations process and also with the decision to accept the six year interim period instead of outright, immediate secession.
		Sudan expert Marc Lavergne was sceptical on Kiir's appointment and highlighted the destabilising effect of Garang's death on an already fragile peace process.
		"It's true he is a military man but he was one of Garang's closest aides and has no alternative to continuing the struggle for a new Sudan," Khartoum-based lawyer and human rights activist Suleiman Ghazi told AFP.

		Although the Guardian report on the 22nd of July said that a "humanitarian intervention" in Sudan would help retrieve Tony Blair's reputation for moral action after the Iraq debacle ---as if the solution to a bad war was a good one-- the usual suspects have not piped up.
		A question (planted?) made the comparison between Sudan and Kosovo and Blair replied, "I believe we have a moral responsibility to deal with this and to deal with it by any means that we can" [5] This means war.
		The tantalising possibility that an old friend of Osama bin Laden might be an American ally in Sudan only nourishes the kind of speculation indulged in by Michael Moore in Fahrenheit 9-11, which dwells at length on the business links between the Bush family and rich Saudis like the bin Ladins.
